Hello dlaRiCAn, congratulations on making it through the 250 box challenge! Time for some feedback.
Linework
You've done a great job of drawing smooth, straight lines throughout the challenge, using the ghosting method effectively, well done!
Line weight - There are some pages where you appear to focus on adding line weight to the front corner of your boxes. For this challenge you should add extra lineweight subtly around the silhouette as explained in this example. https://d15v304a6xpq4b.cloudfront.net/lesson_images/980a575e.jpg
Occasionally you repeat your lines, no matter how off a line is, you shouldn't repeat it, just keep it as if it were correct and move on.
Hatching- I'm happy to see you hatched a front face on all of your boxes, and that you took the time to do it neatly, keeping your hatching lines straight and parallel, good work.
Box Construction
Line extension method- You've done a good job of extending all your lines to check your connvergences. There were a few hiccups on the early pages, with some lines being extended towards the viewer instead of away, (eg 121, 96, 110 but I'm happy to see that you got this figured out in the second half of your challenge.
Convergences- Looking through your pages I can see your perspective estimations gradually becoming more accurate and more consistent, well done.
Foreshortening- I can see you varying the ammount of foreshortening on your boxes throughout the challenge, good work.
Box Orientations- While you do vary the proportions and rotations of your boxes a fair bit, I do think you could experiment with this a bit more in the future. When following the initial Y on the Y method, the length of the lines of the Y can have any proportion, the right line can be super long and the other ones be super short etc. And same with the angles, the combination of angles between the lines of the Y are limitless, as long as the angles are always over 90 degrees.
Here's a diagram that shows different orientations of boxes, so check it out to get some ideas. Keep in mind that in the box challenge you should always draw from imagination, not from reference, so don't use them to copy.
Conclusion
Good work, well done! Feel free to move on to lesson 2.
Don't forget to add these boxes to your pool of warmups, I recommend experimenting with different rotations on your boxes in the future.
Good luck on your drawing journey!
Next Steps:
Feel free to move on to lesson 2.
Thank you. I was desperately to get any feedback because I don't know is my submission on list or not. I may have too high expectations. Well, I'll be more patient waiting critiques on my next submissions.
Again, thank you!
Also, the diagram that you attached seems like Rotated Boxes but more complexity...
While I have a massive library of non-instructional art books I've collected over the years, there's only a handful that are actually important to me. This is one of them - so much so that I jammed my copy into my overstuffed backpack when flying back from my parents' house just so I could have it at my apartment. My back's been sore for a week.
The reason I hold this book in such high esteem is because of how it puts the relatively new field of game art into perspective, showing how concept art really just started off as crude sketches intended to communicate ideas to storytellers, designers and 3D modelers. How all of this focus on beautiful illustrations is really secondary to the core of a concept artist's job. A real eye-opener.
